Puig fouled off a ball off his shin in the first inning and did so again in the fifth and limped noticeably to first after flying out to shallow right. Meanwhile, Hanley Ramirez was back in the lineup tonight as he got the night off last night, but was back in the lineup today.

Since he returned from an irritated nerve in his back, Hanley has seen quite a bit of rest, but any concerns about his timing not being there haven’t arisen. Meanwhile, Puig was reportedly offered to wear a shin guard after hurting himself in the first inning and Mattingly believes that might be a good idea from now on.

The Dodgers are entrenched as the number three seed in the NL and will start the NLDS on the road in either Atlanta or St. Louis. Clayton Kershaw starts Game 1 with Zack Greinke going in Game 2 as Puig and Hanley should be right in the middle of the Dodgers lineup.
